While many people understand the benefits of working in a model-based environment, others need a clear visual to get how Civil 3D can help their everyday work. Kevin Breslin has put together a brief video overview of Civil 3D as a good primer for those wanting an overview of intelligent modeling.

So Autodesk has released update 1 for Civil 3D 2012. While this isn't exactly breaking news, I find that when speaking with people who are having some problems with Civil 3D, they often aren't aware that there is even an update. So I would like to take a minute to point out that an update is available and ready for download from Autodesk's website. I would also like to take some time to point out a few of the fixes. The information below is from Autodesk's readme fie and displays what problems have been fixed in this update.
